SDCC '08 - Ed Brubaker Creates Live-Action Online Series

San Diego, CA. -
July 24, 2008 – Comics mastermind and Eisner Award-winning writer Ed Brubaker (Criminal,
The Death of Captain America) and White
Rock Lake Productions have teamed up to produce Angel of Death, a new
live-action series for Crackle.com, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s online video
network, that will premiere in 2009.

Stuntwoman turned
actress Zoë Bell (“Death Proof,” “Double Dare”) has been cast as the lead
character in the series, which depicts a remorseless assassin (Bell) in the employ of a ruthless crime
family. After suffering a severe head wound, she becomes so haunted by her
victims that she decides to kill the people who ordered the hits, one by
one. Angel of Death will premiere in 2009 on www.crackle.com/angelofdeath.
Each 8-10 minute installment will be released over the course of 10 weeks.

“Besides the
elation I feel about having a project I wrote actually being filmed, which is
huge for any writer, I’m just as thrilled about having Zoë Bell signed on to
star in Angel of Death,” said creator/writer Ed Brubaker. “And
working with Crackle and Sony Pictures Television to give viewers instant
access to the series online is completely overwhelming.

"Angel of Death
is exactly the kind of high-caliber original content our audience has come to
expect from Crackle,” said Sean Carey, senior executive vice president, Sony
Pictures Television. “The combination of Ed’s sensibility and Zoë’s
talent is sure to keep loyalists and new viewers alike coming back for more.
